1/21/11 + 1/22/11 Backcountry and gulfside half days!

Capt. Rick Stanczyk had his regulars Lee and Rob down from the NJ area.  They were glad to get out of dodge leaving the cold weather and snow behind to come and visit to do some islamorada fishing.  We fished two half days, the first day we ran in the back and fished some ditches and runoffs, catching trout, ladyfish, some little pompano, and got into some thick redfish!  Rob caught some pompano on fly as well!  Lots of action and rod bending.  The next day we did something different, ran on the edge of the gulf and caught some mackerels. Got them going pretty good, caught some on fly again, and also put some out for some black tip sharks.  Got one to the boat and broke off a couple others, very fun and exciting watching them go airborne and spin like a torpedo!  It was Rob's first so he was very stoked!  We then hit a little wreck and caught some mangrove snappers for lunch for them before they headed back towards home!  They said they can't wait to come back and do it again hopefully later this year!!!
